Graston Technique®

As one of the first hospitals in our area to introduce the Graston Technique®, Florida Hospital DeLand offers advanced treatments for patients with sports medicine and rehabilitation needs. This technique uses soft-tissue mobilization to break up scar tissue that usually interferes with muscle, tendon and ligament function.

The sports medicine therapists use an “ironing” out motion on the tissue to remove scar tissue while incorporating warming up, stretching, strengthening and icing into sessions.

The conditions we commonly rehabilitate with Graston Technique® include these common sports medicine injuries:

Plantar fasciitis

Tennis elbow

Back pain

Tendinitis

Postsurgical scarring

Sprains

Strains

Muscular or skeletal programs.
